Exegesis

The main verb apelthon {ἀπῆλθον | apêlthon} then describes the departure, followed by two relative clauses introduced by hos…men…de {ὃς…μὲν…δὲ | hós…mèn…dè} that present contrasting destinations: one into the idion agron {ἴδιον ἀγρόν | idíon agrón} (“own field”) and another epi tēn emporian autou {ἐπὶ τὴν ἐμπορίαν αὐτοῦ | epì tēn emporían autoû} (“onto his business”). The men…de pairing emphasizes the contrast between the two actions, and the prepositional phrases eis… (into) and epi… (onto) highlight the distinct affairs that distracted the invitees.

In context — Matthew 22:5

But they, having disregarded , went away—one indeed to his own field, and another to his business .
